Flower in the Mud

The normal carriages that belonged to the palace only had enough room for 4 people at one time. 

Since Ning wasn't part of the guards that were supposed to protect Lisa and Reever, he was forced to separate from their group and had to take the next carriage, along with the person he was supposed to look after, princess Elina. 

"What's your name?" she asked Ning. The carriage inside the palace started moving and soon they were leaving the palace for the city market.

"My name is Ning, your highness," Ning said as respectfully as he could.

"Ning? That's a weird name," she said. She looked at his face for a little bit and asked, "Are you new?"

"Yes, your highness," Ning replied.

"Tsk, they gave me a new guard. Can you even protect me if there is a threat?" she asked.

Ning stopped himself from chuckling and answered, "I will try my best, your highness."
